This rare high quality hybrid garnet (it is a top quality Rhodolite) comes from only one place in the world, the Umba river in Tanzania, Africa. Collectors are always on the look out for Umbalite, as it is extremely scarce. Sometimes mistaken with the Umba garnet, these Umbalite garnets differ in their pink-red and purple-red color. They lack the orange hues of the Umba Garnet.
TREATMENTS - Garnet is not treated.
CARE - It is usually safe to clean Color Change Garnet jewelry in an UltraSonic Cleaner, and extremely risky to use a steamer. I recommend Ionic Cleaners and/or warm, soapy water and a soft brush as the best way to clean your gemstone jewelry.
The precise colour may vary depending on the specific monitor, the settings and the lighting conditions.
